In the end, he still failed to achieve his goal. After discovering that the sacred beetle couldn't be killed, the mysterious woman chose to leave. Her decisiveness left Chen Xu with no chance to persuade her and only regret.

In fact, even before crossing over, Chen Xu was not a good student. He had no interest in mainstream science such as physics and chemistry and performed poorly in those subjects.

On the contrary, he was very interested in myths and legends from various countries. Even when studying English, his goal was based on this - many people who study myths and legends use English to record their research.

It is precisely because of this interest that after crossing over, he did not panic but instead accepted this result calmly and began learning magic.

He was also quite interested in Chinese Taoism and wanted to learn it.

The appearance of this woman undoubtedly gave him a glimpse of hope for Taoism. So regardless of right or wrong, he acted directly for Taoism. Unfortunately...

"Tell me what happened." Chen Xu stood with his hands behind his back as Solomon defended himself.

"It's like this..." Solomon told Chen Xu about coming out to see things because he couldn't stand loneliness.

"Look at me." Chen Xu coldly shouted as he swapped the positions of Sun Gold Sutra and Undead Black Sutra while opening Sun Gold Sutra. "Meditate quietly and contemplate; observe carefully; This is Sun Gold Sutra."

Solomon looked at Sun Gold Sutra excitedly. This was Teacher's treasure that never left her side even when sleeping within reach by hand! One can imagine how much these two books meant to Chen Xu!

However today they were shown to him by Chen Xu himself which made Solomon feel an unparalleled sense of honor - just like a god descending from heaven personally blessing him! Such joy could not be expressed in words!

"Don't get excited; keep calm and contemplate yourself." Chen Xu sternly ordered.

If it weren't for Solomon being controlled by that mysterious woman, if his mind wasn't likely to crack, Chen Xu wouldn't have borrowed the power of Sun Gold Sutra to temper his spirit.

Infinite knowledge is also an infinite impact. If one can't bear it, they are just a fool. This is a supreme practice and also a supreme experience.

Solomon quickly sat down without caring about the dust on the ground. He looked at Sun Gold Sutra and immediately saw a picture - a picture of gods! Countless words jumped in his mind as he heard the murmurs of gods playing in his brain!

This was not teaching; this was torture! When countless voices and endless knowledge descended into his mind, Solomon felt tortured.

His head throbbed with pain; His soul collapsed; Only one voice remained deep within him - Why did my teacher want to harm me?

Seeing that things were not going well, Chen Xu immediately shouted loudly: "Meditate quietly and contemplate; don’t think about other messy things or absorb all knowledge indiscriminately. You must learn self-control."

Self-control is essential because while delicious food may be enjoyable, eating too much will make you sick. Knowledge is no different - pouring unlimited knowledge together will cause even gods to suffer mental breakdowns.

Chen Xu understands this, which is why he can watch it again and again. Every time he watches it, he sees a part of the ocean of knowledge recorded in the Sun Golden Scripture, or perhaps just a drop of water. With time passing by, he will eventually see the entire sea.

Chen Xu's voice was magical, infused into Sulaiman's soul, interrupting his thirst for knowledge. After that, Sulaiman adjusted the pace of absorbing knowledge and began to slowly absorb it.

After a while, someone came on the street. They were police officers who had obviously come after receiving a report from someone else.

However, these people did not dare to approach because of the scarab beetle hovering near Chen Xu seemed terrifying.

"The people over there, you have been surrounded..."

Puchi!

Chen Xu laughed out loud. He didn't know if the police could cross time and space or not but he had an illusion of crossing time and space - the TV before crossing and reality after crossing coincided amazingly at least in that sentence "The people over there, you have been surrounded...".

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"Okay." Chen Xu saw Sulaiman breathing naturally so he closed the Sun Gold Sutra and summoned back the scarab beetle.

Black mist rose under his feet as countless scarab beetles crawled back and disappeared in an instant.

Sulaiman looked at Chen Xu with some admiration then stood behind him.

"Are you guys police?"

Suddenly Chen Xu's voice became magical again.

"Well then please forget about what happened today."

Memory cleansing is similar to hypnosis but hypnosis requires cooperation from others and also needs to persuade them through language whereas he only needed a small magic spell to wipe away these ordinary people's memories.

"But those civilians might be troublesome." Chen Xu pondered for a moment.

Those civilians all saw him using magic so they might spread this incident outside. With Chinese gossip levels being what they are it would become big news within a day or two

"Let me do this." Chen waved his hand as black spiritual light covered every policeman modifying their memory,

"Just now three American actors were filming here with props like those scarabs and swords. What everyone saw was just a movie. To prevent the plot from being leaked, you need to suppress this matter with all your might."

People are forgetful. Even if they have personally experienced something, as long as there are no scars left behind, they will slowly forget it over time. He believed that with the excuse of making a movie he could easily control these comments within a certain range.

"Okay, let's go back." Chen Xu waved his hand again and collected the black spiritual light. After they left, the dumbfounded police officers returned to their original state.

"What just happened? Why are we standing here?"

Due to the vastness of human memory, modifying memories inevitably conflicts with previous memories. Only those who are highly skilled can seamlessly modify memories.

"It seems like we were escorting a film crew here." Another police officer thought carefully and answered.

He felt something was strange because he hadn't heard of any film crew coming here for shooting before. However, memories cannot be faked. He couldn't figure it out and gave up thinking about it.

"Oh yeah, those extras seemed scared away. They might spread rumors everywhere."

"I spit on them! Those guys are afraid even of some props; they're cowards that disgrace our Chinese people."

"Let's go handle this so that filming doesn't turn into rumors. It'll be troublesome if it spreads all over since those American big shots seem important."

The police officers had no idea that their memories had been tampered with by Chen Xu. They spoke incoherently according to modified memories without realizing that what they said wasn't what they wanted or used to say.

"Because I modified their memory, there is still a conflict in logic which shows my immaturity," Chen Xu said as a sacred beetle crawled onto his palm and transmitted images seen by its eyes to him.

"A true master at modifying memory will make sure the new memory perfectly integrates with the old one without causing personality conflicts. However, this requires an in-depth understanding of a person's past memory which is too much work for little gain."

"Teacher," Sulaiman looked at Chen Xu expectantly, "Can I see Sun Gold Sutra again?"

"You want to see it?" A smile appeared on Chen Xu's face.

In fact, he was quite conflicted. He wanted Sulaiman to spread his wings and fly high, but he was also reluctant to let him go.

He was like a parent who wanted their child to experience the world outside but couldn't bear to let them go.

"Yes." Sulaiman nodded firmly. "I feel my soul is stronger than ever before, as if everything is within my grasp."

"Everything is within your grasp?" Chen Xu's expression became even more strange.

He remembered having the same feeling when he first read Sun Gold Sutra which almost led to his downfall when facing Imhotep. Since then, he had escaped from the feeling of being in control and returned to himself.

Unexpectedly, his disciple followed in his footsteps which made him both gratified and regretful.

"Yes, I feel that everything is under my control - the sun, moon, stars, all things in heaven and earth follow rules that I can use at any time," Sulaiman said confidently.

"Then show me by destroying this city easily," Chen Xu said with confidence. However soon after muttering some words under his breaths; Sulaiman's face turned pale.

"What happened? Why did it turn out like this? Didn't I have control over everything? Wasn't I a supreme deity? How could something like this happen?"

He kept murmuring while shaking uncontrollably with disbelief as he looked at an unchanged world ahead of him asking repeatedly: "Teacher why am I like this?"

"Exactly!" Chen Xu pitifully looked at Sulaiman. He understood this feeling - seeing infinite knowledge and thinking he was the smartest person in the world; mastering the secrets of gods and thinking he could rival them. However, he forgot that although knowledge is important, it needs power to match it. Moreover, what they saw was only a small part of the vast sea of knowledge, which could only be considered as a tiny drop.

"Still not awake." Chen Xu's voice carried magic and directly hit Sulaiman's soul.

In an instant, Sulaiman woke up from his arrogance.

In fact, when he watched the Sun Golden Sutra and was filled with endless knowledge, he committed seven sins - pride.

But now he realized that those knowledges were just illusions - intangible and non-existent. To interfere with existence by non-existence or to interfere with being by nothingness is unrealistic for him now.

Understanding this point naturally eliminated his pride. His soul would also become more stable than being impacted by unlimited knowledge training alone.

Subduing one's heart is strength. In Shaolin Temple there is a martial art called "Prajna Palm", which records: if you are restless all night long with your thoughts flying around wildly in your mind, how can you subdue them? The first priority is to practice Prajna Palm internal skills."

This refers to subduing one's inner thoughts. And Sulaiman has subdued his arrogance.

In fact, whether it’s Eastern or Western practices of cultivating strength involves spirituality – different paths lead to the same destination.

"Okay Sulaiman，now you realize your lack of power and your soul returns to perfection。However，you cannot indulge yourself，otherwise original sin will invade your soul again."

"Yes teacher，I remember."Sulaiman said respectfully.
